Marshall has to explain that he got mugged in Central Park on after he had ordered pizza because he didn't have his wallet. Afterwards Lily says she's going to buy a gun. In MacLaren's, Marshall explains that he was actually mugged by a monkey in the zoo but at first he says the "mugger" was naked while mugging him. Robin shows up and Marshall is about to recount the story when Barney says he wants to because it's "his story" (he wants to use it to pick up a woman.) Barney changes the story a bit and says the monkey was using a banana on the ground as bait to get Marshall near the cage, and then also says that the Monkey mugged him using a banana as a gun.

Robin then asks to interview Marshall for his mugging story. Barney is talking to a girl, Lisa, using the mugging story and then Sarah, a woman he had earlier convinced that he was Neil Armstrong, shows up saying "I thought you were supposed to be on a shuttle mission" and he says he was mugged and the mugger took his shuttle keys, then he attempts to talk his way into a three way by putting the two stories together. He ends up getting two vodka tonics thrown in his face while Lisa storms off.

Robin pitches it to her producer and she says it could go national making her famous. Barney explains that the three-way actually didn't happen but that they splashed their drinks into his face and he talks to Sarah saying that he really lied, then she says she's not actually 28 but really 31 causing Barney to not like her.

Marshall then says that the mugging really was not by a monkey. When Marshall is about to get interviewed he ends up not going through it and doesn't say what really happened to his wallet. Ted gets interviewed for his model building, but before Ted gets the interview the monkey steals one of the dolls from one of Robin's previous talk shows and he climbs the model building to the top while Mike the camera guy throws paper airplanes at it, making it look like the ending of the movie King Kong, and making them question if this is really happening (although it is heavily suggested that this may be one of Future Ted's lies, an attempt to liven up the story for his kids). But if Future Ted meant it when he said 'true story', then it certainly was legen- wait for it... dary! Legendary!

Marshall and Lily's accidents at home include Marshall accidentally popping a champagne cork into Lily's eye in the Pilot. Marshall also accidentally stabbed her with a sword in The Duel.

When Lily mentions having just bought some "adorable strappy sandals" to Marshall, she adds that their new credit card works, referencing her shopaholic tendencies, first brought up in I'm Not That Guy.

Because a lie is just a great story that someone ruined with the truth.

Marshall: I don't think I should have to pay because I don't really like pizza anymore.

Ted: Marshall, we have driven halfway across the country for pizza literally hundreds of times.

Lily: I've seen you eat pizza in the shower.

Arthur the Pizza Guy: Marshall, there's a picture of you on our coupons.

Barney: I'm not gonna say Marshall's a guy who eats a lot of pizza, but last time he went in for an examination the doctor said "Marshall, you gotta stop eating pizza." Marshall says "Why?" Doc says "So I can examine you."

Neil Patrick Harris' microphone pack can be seen when he is high fiving lily about the three way belt.

* This is actually incorrect. The cast did not wear microphone packs with sound being recorded via boom mic. What can be seen here is the back of the three-way belt that Neil Patrick Harris (Barney) is wearing.

When Barney is explaining the threeway, he says "zero-gravity" when instead, he actually meant "zero-g".

* Barney is explaining the three-way as being in space therefore "zero-gravity" would be correct.
